4357 The Other Side 326
The girl looked up at him suspiciously as she spoke.
âWho are you? Iâve never seen you before.â
âIâ¦â Unsure how to explain, Youyou immediately changed the subject. âAre you alone? No other family?â
âThere is.â Shanshan didnât think too much about it, nor did she seem to notice that Youyou was trying to change the subject. She answered his question. âI have a sister called Ranran.â
âRanran?â
âYeah. But ⦠she bullies me all the time, so ⦠Iâm a little scared of her. If you see her, you donât need to tell her Iâm here. I donât want to see her.â
â¦
âIn other words, the various people in Youyouâs childhood memories become shadows of the personalities in him?â Alice touched her nose gently as she came to this conclusion.
Professor Romanka nodded. âSomething like that.â
After the boy had fallen asleep, Romanka put the brain monitor on him while he checked the boyâs physical status in his dreams. Moreover, he could also monitor the emerging personality situation.
Through the tests, Alice found that the boyâs brain waves alternated between quick and slow, calm and agitatedâ¦
The agitated pattern represented fear.
Alice wondered what in Godâs name the boy had seen in his dream to cause such an emotional upheaval.
She sighed. âIf only I could get into his dreams.â
âIf you interfere now, Iâm afraid the boy will go mad.â
âGo mad?â Alice was incredulous. âIs there some scientific basis for this?â
âFor example, right now, the boyâs emotional state is like a few well-ordered highways, and the different personalities are like speeding cars on the highway. If you interfere, what happens when the cars reverse into other highways?â
âCollision.â
âA disturbed state of mind leads to disorder. Therefore, the consequences would be unthinkable. Of course, it wouldnât be the same for everyone, but itâs not recommended to interfere, just in case.â
âI understand.â
Romankaâs explanation was easy to understand so she could easily follow what he was trying to illustrate.
Alice sat down in a chair not far from the boy, feeling rather defeated. âWhat you mean is that now we can only watch and do nothing more.â
âYes. This is deep hypnosis. Unlike the superficial hypnosis you had performed before, you cannot interfere with this. You can only wait and see.â
âIs it possible to wake him up?â
âYes, but only through professional means.â
Alice was still uneasy. Because she was not an authority in this field like Romanka, she might not be able to detect it If he secretly did something out of line. That was why she felt uneasy.
Even now, she could not be 100 percent at ease with Romanka. But there was nothing she could do at the moment except turn to him.
She could only say a silent prayer for things to go smoothly.
Romanka sat down beside her. He knew in his heart that Alice doubted him and therefore she was reluctant to leave. However, he didnât mind. He was willing to offer a treatment plan for the boy because it would benefit his research if he could cure him.
